Random numbers are a fundamental resource in science and engineering, and are also widely used in many fields, such as simulation, cryptography, lotteries, fundamental science. There are algorithmically generated numbers that look like random numbers but are not truly random. These pseudo random numbers are generated from a computer, using deterministic algorithms. Because, we cannot use pseudo random generators in situations, where true randomness is necessary, we use true random number generators. In this case, we use unpredictable random events as a random source. Quantum random number generators (QRNG) output true random numbers based on inherent randomness in quantum measurements. Our goal is to generate fast random numbers at a lower cost. At the same time, a high level of randomness is essential. We present the improved novel quantum random number generator, which is based the on time of arrival QRNG. It is rather efficient, as it uses the simple version of the detectors with rather few requirements. The novel QRNG produces more than one random bit per each photon detection. |
